Replacing native Winamp code with modern code with frequent updates by one of the most prolific classic Winamp developers.
It's fantastic.

Geiss support tho?
Can someone explain me what's the business model of an app that's free for three decades? They claim to have 100 devs, how can they pay them?
They're sponsored by WinRAR. Those guys are loaded.
Is this real?
I'm surprised they kept it up for so long honestly. It was very clear they had no fucking clue what they were doing. What with the nonsensical license that violated Github's tos, the Dolby Code they leaked, and the fact they kept every commit public for everyone to see.
I'm using foobar2000. Should I be using something else?
Foobar is still the best there is, although the classic style interface might not appeal to younger people.
Still miss foobar which isn't on Linux, though deadbeef is fairly similar at least. Never got the hang of all the beautiful themes/skins users put together for foobar but it was still my go to music player. Excellent layout customisation, tagging and conversion UI, as well as as nice range of plugins
Is it still possible to get the source code? I never knew it was available.
Well, that really sucks the llama's ass.
Uhhh
Unsurprising given that their repo's license was a contradictory mess
Anyways I'd recommend using Strawberry instead
It's an actual Free and Open Source music player:
Nice profile picture!
...That site's UI looks like someone saw the marketing literature for the Frigidaire produce preserver and said, "Yeah, that'll do."

Lovely that it is open source, but dear lord that UI is a blast from the past 😂😂 👴👵🏚️
It's an Amarok fork, so yes
It’s ugly af. Hope some designer can volunteer to set them straight.

I just use Audacious with a winamp skin. Looks identical but actually FOSS.
Been doing this recently too. I've just got the default Winamp skin, but it's so nice to have that part of my childhood back.
